Maono, a global leader in hybrid microphone technology, has introduced the P Series Hybrid Audio Interface. This solution is specifically designed for the modern content creator who operates across multiple devices and platforms.
Maono’s P Series Hybrid Audio Interface comprises two models — the P1 and the P2 — both of which are now available through Amazon and the company's official website, with the P1 featuring a notable introductory discount. The fundamental innovation of this product lies in its hybrid connectivity, which allows users to seamlessly integrate their audio setup with laptops, smartphones, tablets, and cameras. The tech achieves this through features like USB OTG for direct mobile connection and stereo loopback for capturing both system audio and microphone input simultaneously. The devices are engineered with high-performance preamps, with the P1 offering up to 70 decibels of gain and an exceptionally low equivalent input noise, while the P2 provides a robust 56 decibels of gain suitable for dual-person recording scenarios.
